Both sexes of the turquoise-browed motmot, Eumomota superciliosa, display their long-racketed tail in an exaggerated side-to-side wag display in two contexts. In the first, the wag display is performed in the presence of predators (predator-elicited wag display), and evidence supports the hypothesis that the signal functions as a pursuit-deterrent signal (Murphy 2006, Behavioral Ecology, 17, 54...

Abstract ‘ Orange & Teal ’ has become the preferred ‘look’ of Hollywood movie industry. Is this craze just another arbitrary fashion? Possibly not, because ‒ apart from name palette been around for ages in visual arts. It is variously known as ‘painting cool and warm,’ drawing a trois croyons , use ‘limited palette,’ so forth. This leaves open question whether there might be one or more fun...

zno and mn-zno nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel auto combustion method. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive analysis of x-ray (edx) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of zno and mn-doped zno was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. ...

Co-expression network analyses provide insights into the molecular interactions underlying complex traits and diseases. In this study, co-expression network analysis was performed to detect expression patterns (modules or clusters) of microRNAs (miRNAs) during lactation, and to identify miRNA regulatory mechanisms for milk yield and component traits (fat, protein, somatic cell count (SCC), lact...

This study draws on archaeological, stylistic, and technological evidence to explore ceramic brick production of the medieval Islamic period in southern Karakum region Turkmenistan, home many urban sites along so-called Silk Roads. We focus a 9th–12th centuries a.d. assemblage recovered from site Dandanakan/Daş Rabat during first season ToKa (Town project) 2019. Special emphasis is paid charact...
